Scientists work to unlock secrets of Antarctica's Denman Glacier - ABC listen Almost 30 Antarctic scientists have spent summer camped at the remote Denman Glacier, working to better understand how the system might change in a warming climate.

Time to begin my πŸ”΅β˜οΈ journey!

Based in Melbourne (Naarm 🦘), I'm a geoscientist/glaciologist/geographer investigating the behaviour of the #Antarctic ice sheet in a changing #climate, and the corresponding impact on #sealevel rise.

Beyond science, I like 🚴⚽ πŸ›Ά 🍺 πŸ§€ πŸŽ§πŸ•οΈ
